Hunter: “Entrepreneurship has been a large part of my life for over 40 years including several start-ups, 23 years of college teaching in entrepreneurship, and economics-oriented non-profit philanthropy. A most recent venture, Dynamic Solutions Worldwide, LLC (Dynatrap®), has grown rapidly from its start in 2010 and is now the leading mosquito trap supplier in the USA.
